EDITORIAL

All to soon the 1992 AGM Meeting is now behind us. A full report appears on pages 5 & 6, but I would like to give my thanks here, to everyone who attended and helped make it such a super day. We had the highst attendance ever with lots of excellent prints and slides on show. Luck was certainly with us as a little while after members had departed, Station Road suffered a three hour power-cut, which would have been quite disasterous if earlier in the day.

While the Club celebrates it`s 21st. anniversary, I have also reached my 20th year as your Editor. Like the Club, it has been a series of ups and downs, but thankfully mostly enjoyable. It is nicer now to work wit a computer instead of the messy stencils and duplicator. Mind you, they have their problems, as has happened with this issue, when the computer decided to wipe off a whole disc of copy before I had made a back-up copy and I have had to re-type them all over again, which is why this issue is a little late.

Finding copy is always the biggest headache and there are many weeks when there is a little to hand. Please keep this in mind and send anything that you may find of interest. What may seem to be "easy" to you may be just what someone else is searching for.

You will recall that in the CRCN No. 62, I enclosed a two sided page of adverts on behalf of Phototech Photographic, of Taunton! A Mr. Jon Grace offered to pay £75 which would, have been very welcome - however, he never paid up in spite of my letters and phone calls. Ron Croad later reported that this firm has since gone bust, As `Big` business will get their cash first, it is unlikely we shall ever get paid.

Just to prove how strange `IS` our business laws!! In spite of the large amount of money owing, this firm is still in business, operating as Exeter Photograpghic Supplies, with identical adverts still running in the Amateur Photographer magazine. It isn`t up to me to tell you where to shop, or not, but will leave it to you to decide, but would ask you to take note.

The other firms that have disappeared under these people are:- A. W. Young, Marston & Heard, Harringay Photographic and Brunnings!.... seems to speak for itself!
